For a guy going on a blind date those words always put that "what did I get myself into" thoughts.
I'm finding the same when told "the bass is clean, fast and tight". Seems that with those words then
the room pressurizing thump in the chest type LF may be missing. Yes in some cases I found that statement to
be true in the aspect that it is there but just not THERE. Would you not get a drawn out note (not tight) in order
to have that kind of authority in the lower region? It may take mucho dinero to get both (that I will probably
never hear) or is it just not possible to have both?

Jack:
All depends on how much you think "mucho dinero" is

P.I.:
One more time: subwoofer.

You seem to be treading water with a speaker that meets your wants.  From everything I have seen you are looking for more bass than is, uhm...real.

You want LF "hit", buy the thing that will do 'it' for you.

Nick B:
What size subs will fit into your room?

Jack:
If your plan is to still "start from scratch" with new speakers as you said in an earlier thread you either have to get extremely lucky on the used market to find a floor stander that will fit your bass wants and not drive you out of the room or find a monitor that delivers for you from the mid 40's and up then fill that it with a pair of subs.  I use Rythmik F-12's but there are others that will fit the bill. For a change of pace in my Main system I replaced the full range Verity Otello's with a pair of $2500 Reynaud Bliss Jubillee's. They are a transmission line book shelf speaker that will reach the low 40's on their own.  I then dialed up the crossover on the Rythmiks from the 35hz point used with the Verity's to 60hz and I still have great sound with all the LF response I need.  The most important thing is to find a speaker whose sound you can live with for long periods and then deal with the low frequencies by other means.
